Q: How often is LineStar Updated?

A: As often as projections change :) We pride ourselves on having some of the most up to date projections, injury updates, and relevant intelligence. We publicly post the last time that projections were modified below the sporting period so you can easily tell when they were last changed.

Q: How often are player projections updated?

A: Player projections vary by sport but typically occur numerous times throughout the day. Some weekly sports such as PGA or NASCAR might have less frequent updates due to the nature of the sport and general lack of news/updates for given players. Nascar for instance generally has 2 projection updates, one for the initial projections, and then one update after the practice and qualifying races have taken place.

Q: What times are new periods added?

A: Periods are added generally after the previous period's games have concluded. This is because those games can affect projections for the following period. The amount of time between posting is different for each sport and can vary to some degree. Ex: Daily sporting periods generally become available quicker than weekly.

Using the Website

Q: How do I read the advanced charts?

A: Looks intense? Don't worry, you'll be able to understand it relatively quickly!

We took the most important elements of Daily Fantasy and condensed them down to a single easy-to-read chart. Here's what the chart is showing you:
Projections: The green dot is our projection for the player, the blue dot is what they actually scored. You can view historical projections for the previous periods to see how consistent we've been.
Salary Changes: At the top of the chart you can view how the players salary has been going up/down. This would clearly correlate with the players performance which you can easily see.
MatchUp: Who'd they play, when the game was played, where it was played, and how were they rated vs. that competition? Red means they had a tough matchup, black means they had a neutral matchup, green means they had a favorable matchup.

The trophy icon represents they were in the perfect lineup that day.

The clock icon represents the game included overtime for that period.

The S icon represents they started that game.

You can click into an opponents team to research how they historically performed against that team on an individual level. Disseminating this information can help you understand a story about each individual player, are they on a heater, are they overdue, or are they cold as ice.

You can mark a player as Love/Hate to include/exclude them from your lineup.
You can also modify the projection by +1/-1 per click if you feel like modifying your own projections on any specific player. These adjustments are all taken into account when using the lineup generator.

Q: What is Love/Hate?

Loved Players: Your loved players will force their way into generated lineups.

A: Red means they have a tough matchup, black or yellow means they have a neutral matchup, green means they have a favorable matchup.

Q: What are QuickGlance™ Icons?

A: QuickGlance™ icons help you visualize player specific advice, trends, and data. We do this by simplifying important stories about the player to an emoji.

Q: What is FanSense™?

A: Instantly get a feel for how other players feel about an athlete. This proprietary crowd sourced intuition tells you if the crowd is hyped on a player or not feeling them! You can use this intelligence as another factor to decide whether or not to include them in your lineup or get a general feel for ownership percentage. The number next to the heart demonstrates how many people love the player which might merit why you would do further research on that player.

Q: What is LineGen™?

A: Optimal Lineups you seek? LineGen has your back! Choose from several different methodologies for building your optimal lineup. The goal is to maximize salary usage while building the best possible team.

QuickPick : Favorite Boost - Gives a boost to your favorite team or player to get them into your lineups.
